>Chas: Thanks to your INCREDIBLY STRANGE BUT SOMEHOW STILL ACCEPTABLE SIGN, Dash understands you. After devoring the HARD-BROILED CANDY CORN, he covers his eyes with one of his large arms.

Your FLASH is quite effective against both the BASILISKS; they are blinded and slightly stunned, moving quite a bit slower.

Your next attack manages to take one of them out, but the other still remains.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Connor: You have wasted some time. And are now slightly confused by the premise of TIME SHENANIGANS. Well done.

> Xavier: Explore your world
You do so with ease thanks to your new SHOES. They really are awesome.

> Xavier: Pondering time?
Nah, you're good. You're kinda busy at the moment, plus your most of your questions have been answered by Teddysprite.

> Xavier: Some sick beats then?
Well, you would like some but you left your JAMPOD at your house, you hope you no IMPS get a hold of it.
But if you had some sick beats you would probably play something like this.
Its not exactly 'sick' but it fits the mood and area.

>Greg:Wake up on Prospit

As you finally close your eyes to enter your trance like state,you open them in a place with alot of yellow.In fact almost everything in this ROOM that you find yourself in is yellow.Even your clothes have been replaced by a yellow robe that sports a yellow crescent moon.You can't help but feel a strange sense of deja vu.

As you look around this room,which looks like an exact replica of your room,circa before the IMPS went at it,you notice a peculiar looking fellow who seems to be engrossed in one of your BOOKS in the corner.He is wearing some strange clothing and has a satchel at his side.His skin also seems to be pure white.

You decide to walk up to this person,slowly of course as to not scare him,and ask him some questions.

>Xavier: As you run around, exploring and whatnot, you see groups of IMPS and OGRES running amok. They're tearing holes in the clouds, throwing things (mostly wrenches) at the BIRDS, and generally just not being very nice people.

As you land on a certain cloud-island-thing, you notice that an OGRE has apparently grabbed onto a PARROT, and is trying to stick it in a cage. The PARROT is quite distressed, and is calling for help. Yeah, it turns out PARROTS can talk. Who knew.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Chas: You have no idea what a COMBAT OPERANDI is. But who cares, it's time to kick some BASILASS! ...Somewhere, a GODMONSTER realizes that he really has to stop making puns.

You and Dash team up and pummel the last BASILISK. It is overwhelmed by your attacks, and is soon defeated!

Level up! You become a level 17 Monster Annoyance! +3,000,000 Boondollars!

Level up! Dash Overcoat is now a level 24 Rebel Minion! +1,436,234 Boondollars!

You collect the Grist dropped by the BASILISKS. +1,283 Build Grist, +1003 Chalk Grist, +991 Shale Grist.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Greg: As you approach the STRANGE MAN, he notices you and starts. His satchel opens, spilling out some parchment, a quill, and a few bottles of ink. One of the bottles opens, and its contents get on your floor and the STRANGE MAN'S skin. Actually, now that you get a closer look at him, it looks like he's got more of an exoskeleton then skin. A carapace if you will.

He bows to you, and begs the Prince's forgiveness. He knows he is trespassing, and is super-extra-deluxe-ultra sorry.

>Greg:Help strange man

You help the STRANGE MAN pick up the things that fell to the ground,all the while he is constantly apologizing about trespassing into the ROOM of a Prince,which you guess he is referring to you though you don't know why.Your not a Prince.

You tell him that it is ok,and that he has no need to be sorry.You don't mind if he is in here...where ever here is.Again you feel as if this should all mean something but you can't place it.

As you finish helping him retrieve his things and you both stand up,you get your first good look at him.What you thought was white skin looks more like an exoskeleton,a carapace if you will.He also seems to be covered in ink now.

You grab the BOOK he was reading off the floor and hand it back to him.You tell him he can borrow it for now and,with a friendly smile,that he can borrow any BOOK he likes from here,as long as he is careful with them.

You politely ask the STRANGE MAN where you are.

Broken finger. Posts will be minimal but will keep playing to best of ability.

>Dirk: Strife!




Oh yeah. These guys are going so far down. They are lucky this is a DESERT. It won't be hard for them to dig their own graves.

HERO OF TIME, COMMENCING SLAUGHTER.

>Greg: The STRANGE MAN seems confused by your question. He responds that you are on the moon of PROSPIT, Kingdom of Light. Just like you have been for years.

He also thanks you for loaning out your BOOKS, but says he cannot possibly accept your offer. He is a mere LABORATORY SCRIBE, and could never take one of the Prince's BOOKS.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ouch, that's gotta suck. Hope your finger heals up soon.

>Dirk: You manage to deal quite a bit of damage to your foes. All the IMPS are easily defeated; the BASILISKS, however, are quite a bit tougher.

Your HEALTH VIAL is lowered to 78%.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Chas: After leading TEAM ALDER in some awesome celebrations, you resume your journey to the next VILLAGE. A bit of walking later, you successfully complete your journey.

You notice two things immediately. First, the VILLAGERS are fleeing away from you (Probably due to the fearsome appearance of Dash Overcoat), and second that most of the VILLAGE seems to be on fire.

Where did those ten hours go?? 0_0

>Dirk: Continue Strife!


Well this is certainly NOT GOOD. You already feel kind of drained after that last fight. If only there were something within sight to motivate you to give it your all and win!


Oh, hey, it's the IGUANA CAMPFIRE by the GATE. Let's see how they're doing.


OH GOD HOW CAN BARBASOL BE SO FLAMMABLE

>Dirk: Notice


LOOK TO THE EAST!


IT'S BURNING RED!

>Dirk: Strife!

To my delight and your suffering, drawing crappy pictures to go with my posts only takes one hand.

>Chas: Dash's new appearance is so comical that any GECKOS you encounter from here on will likely laugh at him, and then make friends with him, instead of fearing him.

Of course, these GECKOS are dealing with a FLAMING VILLAGE, so they are not currently inclined to make friends.

When you attempt to question them about the fire, they only yell a couple words at you, namely, "Underlings! Fire!" Looks like that's the only explation you can get for now.

When you look around for a way to put out the fire, you notice a RIVER running nearby. Currently, the GECKOS have formed a bucket-chain, ferrying water to the VILLAGE. However, they efforts are not enough to quell the flames. Sad day.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Dirk: Your FIGHTING SPIRIT is dramatically increased! You feel all your fatigue fade away, and all your wounds are healed.

As you prepare to attack, TIME seems to slow down. The BASILISKS have almost stopped moving. You, however, feel like you can move faster then ever before. In this state, you know you can defeat anything the Black King can throw at you. A couple of BASILISKS are child's play.

You do the TIMEY-WIMEY THING.

Level up! Level 16 Pocket-Watch Kid. +1,500,000 Boondollars.

+3,205 Build Grist, +2,742 Shale Grist.

>Dirk: Celebrate victory!

That was INCREDIBLE! You've never felt so powerful in your life. Where was that power earlier today when your SIS was kicking your ass? You consider taking a moment to CONTEMPLATE your sudden boost in power as you gain these LEVELS, and how it is possible, but really you're not all that concerned. Instead, you decide to INVESTIGATE THE RUINS to see why these guys were hanging around outside of them.

>Greg:Refuse to take no for an answer

You tell him it is alright and that it doesn't matter what he is.Knowledge should be shared with everyone freely no matter of status.As he still seems unsure you do a little bow to him and ask him to think of it as a PERSONAL REQUEST.

While he thinks that over you walk over to one of the WINDOWS in this ROOM and look out onto the moon of PROSPIT.

>Greg:Look out of Tower

Hope your finger gets better soon.

GC: FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE!
SS: wait, i'm here to help!
SS: just chill out for a second, my compatriots are on their way to help put this all out.
GC: AH! OGRE OGRE OGRE OGRE OGRE OGRE!
GC: Wiat, he's got a funny hat on.
SS: his name is dash overcoat.
GC: Hahahahaha, he looks nice.
SS: he is part of team alder.
SS: he is very nice.
GC: Yay!
GC: Wait...
SS: i am the titular alder, the hero of light!
GC: FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE!
SS: nooo don't do that again!
SS: help me find who did this!
GC: They're under the village!
SS: ...what!
GC: In the tunnels!
GC: Stealing our shards!
SS: how do i get to the tunnels to rumble with these rambunctious dersites?
GC: You can find stairs under the Cheif's house!
GC: But it's on fire!
GC: FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE!
SS: that may be an issue, yes.
GC: Yes! It's a very big isse!
SS: for reference, the stairs are not on fire, the chief's home is, correct?
GC: Yes. That is correct.
SS: now, see, the issue there is that this suit is not fireproof.
GC: Ok...
SS: but i also have an ogre.
GC: Ok...
SS: an ogre very capable of ripping down tents or carrying buckets so huge they are borderline pornographic.
GC: Boy, you are being very silly!
GC: Silly silly silly silly silly silly silly silly...
SS: nobody saw that one coming!
GC: But, I just got a great idea!
SS: go ahead, tell me this brilliant plan!
GC: Why don't you use your friend to carry large pails of water to put out the fire on the Cheif's house?
SS: i will mark that down in my magnaminously brilliant plan chart.
SS: you are truly the hero, gecko.
GC: Ooooh, you have leaderchartcharts?
SS: i could not think of a title that even begins to capture your brilliance.
SS: yes, they are very leaderly.
GC: Yay! Then you must be the Hero!
SS: yes, i implied that when i told you i was the hero!
GC: Wait...
GC: FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE!
SS: yep.

>Dirk: You suddenly realize that you get AWESOMELY MAGNIFIED POWERS whenever your actions deserve it. You get the feeling that this would apply to your friends as well. You then decide to stop thinking about silly things and investigate the ruins.

It appears that your enemies weren't hiding under the sand, but in a cave who's entrance was hidden by sand. You venture inside.

You find yourself in a small, but well-lit area. A few lanterns have been hung from the ceiling, casting enough light to see everything. The cave's walls are covered in carvings, much like most of the other ruins. However, it seems that these markings, thanks to the cave, are in a much better condition than those outside.

In addition to the markings, you see an IGUANA tied up and shoved into a corner. Judging from his beard, he might be an ELDER.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Greg: Looking out the window, you are almost blinded by a near-by planet. Although it's brilliance makes it hard to look at, you can make out a few clouds, and in the center... a giant spirograph similar to the First Gate.

Besides the first planet, you also see another one far below you. It looks like the tower you and the LABORATORY SCRIBE are in is situated on a moon, which in turn is chained to the second planet. Everything on this planet and it's moon seems to be golden.

The LS thanks you for your gift, and reluctantly slides the BOOK into his SATCHEL. He asks you not to tell anyone that he's been up here, and explains that he must return to his duties. Unless, of course, there's anything else he can do for you.

>Greg:Look out upon Prospit

You have to admit,dspite the blinding light this is a very beautiful scene before you.And part of you is giddy with excitement.You are on an alien world.And a Prince of this world apparently.Of course you make sure that the person in the room with you doesn't see that you are giddy.

You point up to the PLANET and ask what that is.You also ask if there are any others like you here.Oh and you hope he enjoys the book as well.
